I need your help

Open original source ↗
To investors, I almost never send this letter on the weekend, so you know I would only do it if it was important. Frankly, I am reaching out because I need your help. This Tuesday I am launching my second book, How To Live An Extraordinary Life Volume 2. Usually a book launch has tons of support from big publishers, expensive marketing campaigns, mainstream media interviews, and thousands of shelves in bookstores across the country. I’m doing this launch independently because I believe the power of community trumps any other approach. So here is my big ask: If I have ever provided you any value, please consider buying a book. If I helped you make money, consider grabbing a copy. If I gave you a new idea to think about, buy a book. And if you were ever entertained by the podcast, my tweets, or this letter, order a few copies and then tell your friends to do the same. Buy a book today And if you are based in NYC, I have an extra surprise for you. We are hosting a book launch event on Thursday night at City Winery in Manhattan. My wife, , will be interviewing me on stage. I am terrified of what insane questions she will ask me or what stories she will make me recount, but there is no going back now that I have committed to the event. You can get a ticket to Thursday’s event by clicking here. It will be unlike any event we have done before. I sent an early copy to a few friends and they seemed to like it. Robert Kiyosaki, Author of NYT bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad” said: “It’s filled with wisdom all of us need…a must-read for every parent to give their child.” Anthony Scaramucci, financier and former White House Communications Director, said: “fifty ideas that can change your life, written by one of the sharpest minds in finance and one of the best fathers I know.” I spent a year writing about 50 life-changing ideas that had a significant impact on me. These lessons span across my personal, professional, and financial life, including: The two types of men in the morning Why it is better to be busy than bored How to be the 60% spouse What the Production Principle is How I define success now The importance of “F**k you focus” Why more people die on the way down from Mount Everest Why you must avoid Chauffeur Knowledge What to learn when dissent is outlawed The difference between ordinary and extraordinary How the devil doesn’t tempt you with spinach I am not measuring success of this book by the number of books we sell. I want the ideas to speak for themselves. The true test of a book’s quality is whether it can spread through word of mouth with no marketing gimmicks. I don’t care about book club stickers or bestseller lists. I just want each of you to say, “This brought me immense value.” Buy a book today Thank you in advance for the support. It means a lot to me. I look forward to continuing to learn alongside you in the coming years. Talk to you tomorrow. -Anthony Pompliano
